Israel’s murderous assault on Gaza and the corporate media’s shameless support of it have once again exposed the media’s true nature.
It was absolutely shocking to see how most newspapers and television stations in North America shamelessly supported Israeli attacks against innocent Palestinian women and children. There is much greater concern shown for animals — cats and dogs — if they are slaughtered or even hurt in some way. But Palestinians rank even lower than animals in their estimation. How disgusting and disgraceful. People should learn a lesson from this: never trust these newspapers and TV stations.
